Oh wait - look what it is!

That's right - RSQ returns! For any new people who haven't seen it before, here's a link to my last one:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=59175.0 (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=59175.0)

and here's how it works:

Rules:

The score for each question is the number of people who give that answer.

The most popular answer is the sheep.

Incorrect answers receive the sheep score plus 5 points.

Lowest score wins.

Using Google is not allowed.

You may choose to pass on up to two questions and will receive 0 points for those two questions.

PM your answers to me by 10am Sunday 26th January. The reveal will take place at 7pm the same day.


1) Name a chemical element with an atomic number below 20

2) Name a winner of Strictly Come Dancing (either the professional dancer or "celebrity" is fine) - Christmas Special Winners do NOT count

3) Name a book of the New Testament

4) Name a British Prime Minister since World War 2 (1945 onwards!)

5) Name a 3D Shape for which I would expect my Year 11 Top Set to know the formula for either the surface area or volume

11) Name a current Premier League Football Ground

12) Name a country which I, Ruud, have visited

Ok... that's all!

Good luck people, and get your answers in!

Entered. I normally fade these as my general knowledge is embarrassingly bad but i knew at least 5 answers so thuoght i could guess the rest!

Proper RSQ.

 Will be playing.

In. Luckily there were two passes for the two I had no idea about.

4 entries already... Keep them coming!!

No sign of Tikay yet tho!

Any chance of this being stuck to the top please Mods?!

Done.

entered, thank you for resurrecting these Ruud

Reveal night is always good sport

Well played Sir, we've needed one of these for a while. I'm hoping to be second so as to avoid having to do the next one....

Will you be analysing the results with your students??


Thanks again


David

answers deleted and sent to Ruud by PM, TE

Oh dear David! PM ME THE ANSWERS?!?

Can a mod sort this quickly please so the world doesn't see?!

(I still need to receive the answers in PM form!)

Cheers Tighty

YESSSS So pleased this is back!

 FARCE :D

 

  In!

In

 ;ashamed; ;ashamed; ;ashamed; ;ashamed; ;ashamed;


D'oh

I'll do me best, might change some though

No, no. I have your answers thank you sir! ;)

Despite killing the last one (pretty much literally - jumper, Norwegian accents and everything), I'm in.

IN!

Disappointed with there being another shape question tbh. Am all for maths stuff but was hoping for something a little less...Euclidean.

Maths jokes ftw

Last night I dreamed that I was weightless! I was like, 0mg

In!

In. Feeling really confident about this one.

Groan......

OK, I'll try & give it a go.

Remind me, no googling, right?

I entered, but glad I could pass on a few, no idea on some!

Absolutely not!! 2 passes allowed tho!

Can I get additional passes on account of age, or senility?

Looks good. Popping my RSQ cherry

In for rofl's

In. This looks like great fun :)

Much love for the Oasis and Cricket questions :D

time to remind/educate of the single greatest answer in RSQ history (IMO of course and only narrowly ahead of my grasshopper chess piece)


How that didn't win, I'll never know.

ok i have entered love these especially as i spend  every dinner time with my folks watching pointless

my favourite part of pointless is guessing the scores of different answers

sorry i didnt see question 12 so sent a 2nd PM with it on

oh and please can we have more farce and less and less showing off please

How about sticking to the rules and not sending your answers in in stages?

::)

(That kind of thing?)

I actually wish I hadn't allowed passes now, but never mind.

Fair play those people brave enough to go for no passes. No changing your answers allowed after first entry from now on anyway!

Already up to around 20 entries so reveal time should be fun!

Still no word from:

Tikay
RED-DOG
Pleno
Rexas

And numerous others (I almost put "other big names" but then I realised what that would be implying! ;))

Would love the above 4 in for pure controversy value though!

Got some corking answers already btw!

And don't worry..... PLENTY of FARCE! :)

if that farce includes me failing question 12 because i sent it in after the rest then i am going to pull out my death bed card and if that dont work the red card and if that dont work the red button



FARCE i can feel it already

Glad it's not just me.

Really should visit more often, more fun stuff here than other forums I frequent!

Nut forum by far

Winner!

In...

Years ago while at School I wrote an essay on the similarities between Star Treks alien civilizations and human civilizations, most likely the best piece of work I'd ever produced, I got a C grade for it, because of one throwaway line at the end, which was "Klingons Rule"...!!

I'm sure Ruud gets the jist of what I'm trying to say...?   ::)

I hate Star Trek ;)

I'm going to enter. Don't know toffee though.

Definitely up there. Might have a splash but going away monday and sundays are always busy.

BUMP!

Reveal at 7, get your answers in sharpish please people.

Happy to accept anything up to about 5pm....

Come on Tikay, I'm waiting!

Done!

It was a little late, but I'm sure an exception can be made.

I also promise that I never used the help of google.

In but late, hope thats OK

Ok, are we all ready??

get your engines started people!!!

Fortunately, no one picked it, or that could have got ugly.

I expect that's the last point of order needed, given that you are a man of education.

Well, no protests, so on with Question 2 I guess!

erin danced for years i love her legs

34 entries by the way! Must be some kind of record!

Get yourselves in to the reveal people!

never won though I am afraid

Could stato be the first person in RSQ history to win two in a row?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Boag

ffs i even complained when she wasnt in this years on the SCD thread

She should have, but they chose that awful showdance with Colin Jackson, where they did a quickstep side by side with dummies.

WTF

cf   Hemisphere   1
dwh103   Triangular Prism   1

i got a higher (A-Level) in maths and i would struggle with them 2 never mind an 11 year old

Fine! I'll start.

You can make a rectangular prism, can't you? If so, you can't whale it with anything else. You just have to decide whether your class would know how to work out the volume of it.

year 11 is 16 year olds in england....

top set, definitely would expect them to be capable of the volume of these two at minimum

Well, what is it? It's a cuboid isn't it?

Or we saying BangBang is a very astute man indeed and has exploited a loophole?

Obviously they could work it out!

bugger i need to learn who to ready i though it was an 11 year old
i though in england they had 4-5 years of secondary school then sixth year
never hear if call year 11

If you start with a square prism and stretched the base at one end, you would get a different shape. From the side on, rather than an equilateral or isosceles triangle, you would get a scalene triangle.

There is no way you are telling me that they know how to work out the area of a cone and triangular based pyramid and not a Rhombus!! Please can you double check and ask him/her again as they surely must be able to do it if they can work out the area of a triangle and square!!

I am not sure I follow, it sounds to me like you have created a trapezium on the front face by stretching "the base at one end". Therefore that's the constant shape running through the prism, not a rectangle.

Rhombus is a 2D shape - they can work out the area though ;)

Well, BangBang should be here to answer for himself...

However...

I mean stretching the base to make a rectangle. So the dimensions of the four sides at the base are, say 2,5,2,5.

If you're not sure what shape he means, must be wrong.

Ok, question 6 answers anyway, can't be any arguments here!

Right, so you made a box..... you made a 3d shape with the same 2d shape running all the way through it - a rectangle - hence, a rectangular prism, which, by definition, is a cuboid!

Farce. "Directed by" Kill Bill -  the whole bloody affair is still being made isn't it? therefore he is currently in the process of directing it.

Say wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?!

From Wiki:

Tarantino announced at the 2008 Provincetown International Film Festival that a single film version of part 1 and 2 called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair with an extended animation sequence was to be released in May 2009.[6] Screenings of the complete film began on March 27, 2011 at the New Beverly Cinema.[7] This was verified to be the original print that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003,[8] before the decision was made to split the film into two parts due to the roughly four-hour length. The print shown at the New Beverly even retained the French subtitles necessary for screening an English-language film at the Cannes festival.

However, they'd both get detention at school! Well, Ant at least, it's a bit harsh to punish Tikay at his age ;)

Who will have the ignominy of winning and having to set the next quiz, and who will really win and come second.... all is about to be revealed!

i have no idea who he is but i know sometimes when i dont know 4+ of the answers i just put up random answers for a laugh i presumed that is what he was doing

Agreed. Disgrace.

Not directed by him then, just a part of it was :D

come on the wales

i still wants some farce would be great if ruud had never set foot outside of england

Question 12 - Name a country which I, Ruud, have visited....

Sadly, I wish I made this unpassable, as it leads to a damp squib of a climax I am afraid:

The point was supposed to be that is you picked certain areas of the globe and stuck a pin in, you'd be really unlucky to hit a fail (see Ant -  he almost got "unlucky" and hit an ace!)
I thought this would suit the gamblers in us all, but it is my own fault!

good enough for me ;)

WTF how did wales get more than england dont tell me your a daffoldill loving singing welshman

England?  Surely you reside there rather than visit it? FARCE

Well played all, great effort all round, and congrats to AcidMouse who gets to create the next one! :)

I have lived abroad and "visited" England at that time tho....

objection

The United Kingdom consists of four countires but is not itself an acceptable answer

yes, should have done this.... ah well, can keep the same question for next time, only a small amount of available answers hit here! :)

why not? I have visited all four constituent parts separately...

also, can you visit the place you actually reside in?

you are home not visiting when in it....

but how did wales get 8 guesses and the sheep answer is there a famous visit of your to wales i missed?

he already said he lived abroad and came back too uk to visit

not that I know of! Safe guess I assume, I live in Notts, so it's the closest other country

well done Acidmouse

so much for me trying too be different

got 2 aces the rest were sheep or near enough

great quiz ruud but next time can you stop people copying my answers?

This quiz had a worse ending than Goodfellas.

Nevertheless...good work.

Well done ruud, congrats acidmouse. Awaits questions on what is on your work desk IIRC.

Came home from a two hour 5 year old kids party and slept through this sorry lol..

How can I win! I put Old trafford and it was an Ace?!!?

Great Quiz...

Slightly annoyed at myself for not choosing to pass certain questions.. Definitely think that passes should pose some sort of penalty in future quizzes..

Good going Ruud... Was great fun...!!!

Acid-----> Get on it....!! 

Great fun! Thought I was going to edge it at one point some how!

Look forward to the next one!

Objection to England, Scotland, and Wales on the final question.

Had this been Pointless those answers would have been fails.


Good quiz  :)up

That'll teach you to try do a funny :)

FML well done me for mis reading the last question

Right Tighty, I am on it for the next one. I was indeed messing about with most of the questions. I am actually very good on Tarantino knowledge and knew that From Dusk Till Dawn was something he starred in and produced rather than directed, but for the poker relation i thought i would fail in style, plus incorrectly name it by getting rid of the "From".

I knew at my best I am mid table obscurity, I thought I would rather fail with aplomb. But you have called me out and I am attempting to take everyone down for the next one. I am off to read up on general knowledge as we speak :)

tikay put Plump fiction lol ?

Which I lol'd at.

That was the sort of comedy gold (I'm terrible) i was aiming for but he trounced me with that.

wp acid mouse ;first;

gg for me  ;djinn;

This sounds pretty kinky, did you mean for it to come across that way :D

At least you have an excuse for "doing a Palace" & finishing plumb last......

I don't have such an excuse, though I was not aware (speed-reading sucks) that Passes were allowed, or I would have been a little higher up the Table. Possibly. I was certainly not being disrespectful to Mr Ruud, bit I promised I'd enter, & so I had to.

I did think my answer to Q1 (Chemical elements) deserved a little more love, that was my intended attempt at humour, but only Chess Bloke thought it worthy of mention.

Must try harder..... 
 

Great work, Mr Ruud, thank you very much.

Without folks such as you, blonde falls apart, & your efforts are much appreciated.

Good luck to the next incumbent, Mr Acidmouse, & congrats to him on his victory. 

Plump, Pulp, yeay yeah, whatever, but I was genuinely surprised that the answer was incorrect, I could have sworn it was a Tarantino film.

Must try harder! Ashamed at my score. Love these quizzes though

space bar was stuck on PC..

I have no excuse for Harry Potter and the twin towers though nor do I have an excuse for putting Amsterdam down as a country.

I am going to take my time over the next one..

Thank god for Tikay & Ant.

Thanks Ruud, thoroughly enjoyed. Sure Acid will have the next one up by the end of the week. Can't wait.

enjoyed this a lot and hit my target of close but no cigar

would have got more involved in the reveal but I spent the evening mostly being frustrated whilst I attempted to win play Grand Prix satellites

Is ruud a math teacher?

There was a miscount on my scores..

I failed on Desperado for 11 so was suprised i won.

My totals for all the questions were: 2 3 1 6 4 2 11 7 1 1 pass pass. = 39 total.

Sorry I missed your reveal Ruud, I was out I'm afraid, but given my dismal performance it was probably a good thing.

Thought the shoulder/shoulders thing was a bit harsh, surprised it didn't kick off at that point!

Thanks for reviving the RSQ, and Well done Acidmouse! (I think!)

What?

Misclick?

So I might have won?

Ooh, forgot, same from me, I was working last night, or I would have been on thread.

Yes, I was otherwise engaged, or I would've claimed that KP and Strauss aren't English :)

Thanks for running Ruud.

Oh dear, spreadsheet fail! It didn't add the desperado fail!

CF WINS!!!

Looks like we will all be doing a pointless quiz!

Apologies for the farce ;)

Ha!

All that time I invested in my answers, all for nothing.

It's an outrage.

absolute joke


;)

Urk. Well that's a last minute twist!

Quiz up later then :)

Oh noes, not Cf again ;)

Nice quiz, forgot to pass on one, I'm out of practice.   Well done Ruud, credit for getting things rolling again :)

I feel like I have won now I have lost! lol,

thanks for the questions/quiz enjoyed it.

Just, you know, throwing it out there, but it feels a little harsh on Acidmouse, & it would be rather, well, chivalrous, if cf said "I suggest Acid gets the gig & I'll step aside on this occasion".....

I take the blame.... Now let them sort it out like men!

TO THE DEATH!!!

:) i made a hash of saying i was happy to lose..


no time to set a quiz.

A good quiz and the reveal equally as entertaining, not bad for my first one... on to the next one :) thanks

I made mid table! Outrageous scenes!

Nicely done, understand these take more effort than most realise, ty for the host :)
